As part of The Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, with a total budget of 12 billion GBP, the Prime Minister announced point 5 as an incentive to increase greener urban mobility, through increased usage of public transport and greater usage of bikes and pedestrian means of circulation.

Tens of billions GBP in enhancements and renewals of the rail network, 4.2 billion GBP in city public transport and 5 billion GBP on buses, cycling and walking, following the PM's announcement in February 2020.

120 million GBP in 2021 for the development of at least 4000 more British built zero emissions buses (12% local operator bus fleet in England), with the publication of the National Bus Strategy in 2021, funded through the 5 billion GBP budget. Also fund at least 2 all-electric bus towns, beginning in 2020 and developing the first fully zero-emission city centre.

Expand rail routes around big regional cities, including Manchester and Brimingham. Progress the Midlands Rail Hub scheme in Birmingham and improvements in Manchester and Leeds, alongside Northern Powerhouse Rail to improve east-west links across the Pennines.

Active Travel England, will hold the budget, inspect schemes and assess local authorities for their performance on active travel. Also launch a national programme of support to increase uptake of electric bikes.

Expected results:

3000 new jobs by 2025

government investment of 5 billion GBP in buses, cycling and walking

savings of around 2 MtCO2e from green buses, cycling and walking between 2023 and 2032.

Early 2021: National Bus Strategy and first electric bus town

2021: first of 4000 new zero-emission buses delivered

2023-2024: first rail lines opened

2025: cycle training available to every school child and adult

by 2025: double cycling rates from 2013 levels to 1.6 billion stages per year.

Oil Prices Slide 2% as Markets Brace for Bessent’s ‘Economic D-Day’

Oil prices fell by more than 2% in early Asian trade on Monday as traders took profits and markets awaited details of a new U.S. sanctions package against Iran. At the time of writing, WTI futures were trading at $85.18 per barrel, down 2.16%, while Brent futures were trading at $92.32 per barrel, down 2.19%. Both benchmarks gained more than 5% last week as the U.S. and Iran continued to trade threats, Iranian crude exports dropped, and tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz slowed to a trickle. Today’s pullback appears to be driven…

Diesel Crisis Threatens to Outlast the Middle East War

The outlook for the Middle East war remains grim, the U.S. just threatened Iran with the “toughest sanctions in history,” and the world is running out of stored fuels. To make matters worse, refining capacity is down considerably, and even if the outlook for the war suddenly changed and the U.S. and Iran made peace, the fuel squeeze will last for months—and so will its adverse effects on the global economy. Watching crude oil prices, one would think everything is under control. Both Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate are…

Pemex and Petrobras Bet Big on High-Risk High-Reward Drilling Off Mexico

Mexico’s state oil firm Pemex and Brazil’s national oil company Petrobras are joining efforts and expertise to drill prospects in Mexican waters in the Gulf of Mexico, hoping to unlock huge oil resources from source rock formations that are miles deeper and eight times older than the currently producing formations in the U.S. Gulf. Exploration in the Jurassic formations deep under the Mexican Gulf seabed in the Campeche Bay carries high risks, but the reward in case of a discovery could be enormous, geologists and analysts tell Bloomberg.…

Super El Niño Threatens Food, Water and Trade Worldwide

The world is set to experience an extremely intense El Niño weather event this year, with warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific. This could disrupt typical weather patterns and lead to heavy rainfall in some regions and severe drought in others. While it is unclear whether the more frequent occurrence of El Niño is directly linked to human-caused climate change, it is certainly exacerbating extreme weather patterns in some parts of the world. El Niño occurs every few years, but this year…

Private Equity Is Circling Utilities as AI Reshapes the Grid

While it seems that Democrats and Republicans can’t agree on much of anything these days, there’s at least one common enemy that’s bringing both sides of the aisle together: data centers. Representatives on both sides of the aisle are increasingly pushing back against hyperscalers who are developing massive data center campuses on local energy grids, driving up energy demand and therefore causing electricity prices to skyrocket for everyone, whether they benefit from the artificial intelligence boom or not. The Trump administration…
